About me
|
I am a scientist with over 5 years of marketing and communications experience. I earned my Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology and for my dissertation work at UC Berkeley I studied regeneration of sex cells in amphipod crustaceans. I am a big supporter of making science open and accessible, and always aim to do this through my professional work. In my free time I love doing science outreach and keeping biotechnology open to the community.

Marcom
|
While at Addgene, a nonprofit plasmid repository, I developed my marketing and communications skills. As an outreach scientist I planned and conducted 1-on-1 in person meetings with scientists and contributed to Addgene's inbound strategy by creating useful scientific content. Within 2 years, I was promoted to a role that involved strategic marketing for conferences which included identifying conferences to sponsor, participate in, and present at. I also managed a multi-channel marketing campaign to promote awareness and usage of Addgene's AAV Data hub.

Teaching & Science Outreach
|
I have taught courses at UC Berkeley, Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory, Harvard, The Broad Institute, and at a community lab. During my free time, I co-founded BosLab, an educational nonprofit 501(c)(3) community lab in Somerville, MA. While at BosLab I did many things including developing educational curriculum, building up the lab, and developing marketing and communications strategies to grow the organization.

I am an experienced developmental biologist with a background in stem cell biology and regeneration. I received my PhD in Molecular & Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and for my dissertation I investigated germline regeneration in an amphipod crustacean. One of my key accomplishments in grad school was constructing, producing, and purifying a fusion protein for making an antibody specific to a germline-specific protein, Vasa. I also tinkered with embryos at the genetic level - I successfully designed and generated transgenic animals to answer fundamental questions in developmental and stem cell biology.
